“We believe uplisting from the OTC Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market will increase corporate visibility, improve liquidity, and broaden awareness in the financial markets,” stated Brian Cox, Surge’s CEO and Chairman of the Board. “An uplist will open the investment opportunity to a larger pool of investors and help create greater shareholder value. We have made significant progress in strengthening our financial performance, governance and liquidity, positioning the Company for future growth and profitability. A listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market is a natural progression for the Company and our shareholders.”

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQB under its current symbol, SURG, during the NASDAQ review process and while the Company prepares to meet all the requirements for uplisting to NASDAQ.
